Find out when and where.quality plant availability in the USA. I think it is THE limiting factor in expanding the planted aquarium hobby here. This is why I am so excited to report that Aqvainnova plants will FINALLY be available in the USA in November 2015.
Header image: The people shown in the image are Esther Mous of Aqua Flora (left), Maurizio Castaldini of Anubias (center), and our pro aquascaping friend, Oliver Knott (right).
What are Aqvainnova plants?
Glad you asked! ScapeFu Podcast #45 is all about Aqvainnova! One of the partners of Aqvainnova, Esther Mous, tells you all about their plans and the types of plants they are offering. It’s unlike anything we have in the USA today. Go have a listen and get excited!

Background on Aqvainnova
In an effort to maximize the chances of success, two of the most respected, international aquatic plant growers joined forces to create Aqvainnova. Aqua Flora of the Netherlands and Anubias of Italy, competitors and friends for years, decided that this was the best way to enter this very big but untested market. I love the idea.
What’s more, they decided to launch their innovative Linea Zero line of aquarium plants first in the USA. They will be showcasing both their lines, Linea Zero and Linea In Vitro, at this year’s Aquatic Experience in Chicago on November 6-8.
They have decided to work with the US Importer/Distributor, JBJ that is best known for their Artica chillers. JBJ will also be bringing in the famous German manufacturer of planted aquarium equipment, Dennerle. This means that they have the magic 1-2 punch of plants plus equipment that I think is critical to have success in the USA.
Linea Zero
The Linea Zero are plants that have been grown in vitro but have gone through a second stage of growth. This means that they are stronger and easier to adapt to their new environment.
Here is the initial Linea Zero Aquarium Plants list. It contains information on how the plants and the parameters it likes!
Linea In Vitro
The Linea In Vitro are plants that have been grown disease and algae free.
Here is the initial Linea in Vitro Aquarium Plants list. It too shows the important parameters for the plants.
USA Stores Carrying Aqvainnova
We will be maintaining a list of stores that carry Aqvainnova plants here. If you know of a store that carries them, please let us know.
Aqvainnova made their best guess with their initial plant list that will be available in the USA at the start. If you want something and you don’t see it, please let them know. With sufficient demand, they will make changes.

It does to me! I’ve been there and so has almost every single person who has ever decided to put live plants into a box filled with water a/k/a an aquarium. And if Google doesn’t lie, these are some of the most asked questions related to planted aquariums.
Fear not! I’ve got the solution for you right here! It’s as easy as:

* Lighting – covered in this post
* Carbon dioxide (CO2) – the next post in the tutorial
* Fertilizer – the final post in the tutorial

Also refer to ScapeFu Podcast episode 17 for more on lighting basics.
Aquarium plants need the right amount of light to grow
As some of you may know from dieting, you need the right amount of calories to grow healthy. Too few or too many and you grow poorly and get sick. The amount of light that aquarium plants need is similar to the calories we need to live. We want to give them enough light so that they can grow in a healthy way.
What does light have to do with aquarium plants growing?
Great questions!
Light is energy. This energy powers up a chemical that aquarium plants have in them called chlorophyll. I think of it like rechargeable batteries. Light powers up the plant’s battery a/k/a chlorophyll.

Once light starts to charge chlorophyll, the plant uses it to produce sugar inside of itself. Yes, it’s true! How would you like to produce sugar just by standing in the sun?? Me too!
Once sugar is produced, a complicated process that you don’t really need to know converts it into a chemical called ATP. Yeah, you don’t need to know what that means either. Honestly, all you need to know is that ATP is the fuel used by all living things to grow. So, essentially, the plant converts light energy into chemical energy that it then uses to grow and stay healthy. Get it? Simple, right?
But remember, this process we just talked about (by the way, it’s called photosynthesis) is just like that rechargeable battery. Not enough charge and the battery is very weak and ineffective. Not enough light and the plant can’t make enough ATP and begins to die for lack of food!
If you’re looking for more of a mental challange, the chemical formula for photosynthesis is:
6H2O + 6CO2 ————> C6H12O6 + 6O2
If you don’t speak chemicalese, this translates to: six molecules of water plus six molecules of carbon dioxide produce one molecule of sugar plus six molecules of oxygen. Note the carbon dioxide (CO2) and the oxygen (O2). We will talk more about them later in this tutorial.
OK, OK, so how do we know how much light an aquarium plant needs?
Another great questions! You’re on a roll!
Let’s use that rechargeable battery example again. How do you know when the battery has a full charge?

Well, typically, a light comes on and tells you it’s fully charged, right? The instruction manual will usually also tell you that it will take from X to Y hours for full charge.
I’m your instruction manual for aquarium plants. I can tell you that based on research by very smart, and rather handsome, scientists, most aquarium plants will require from 8–10 hours of light to reach full charge.
How about the equivalent of that little light that comes on when full? Well, we have that too, kinda. When plants reach their full point, you may start to see gas bubbles coming out from the plants. We call this pearling. This is your sign that the plants have reached full capacity.
